Note: If the error recurs, observe whether the carriage is in the same or different loca-
tion.
If the carriage is in the same spot, check the encoder strip for visible damage (clear
plastic strip under the trailing cable tray and above the belt) Refer to the figure which
follows.
Encoder Strip
MAKE SURE POWER IS OFF BEFORE PERFORMING THIS STEP. Verify that
carriage movement is free and smooth by turning the power off and moving the carriage
from one end of the shaft to the other (make sure there is no binding and that nothing is
blocking the carriage movement ).
Clean the top and bottom of the encoder strip using a cotton swab and distilled water (let
it dry completely, approximately 30 minutes, before trying to operate the printer).
Remove the cutter from the left side of the carriage and check it for visible damage.
Make sure cutter version 3 (or newer) is installed (see the figure which follows).
Check the shaft for visible damage (carriage moves back and forth on it during opera-
tion).
Clean the shaft with a lint free cloth and isopropyl alcohol (let it dry completely before
trying to operate the printer).
Trailing Cable Shelf
The Encoder Strip is a clear plastic strip directly behind the shaft
under the trailing cable shelf.
